Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 36 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ The latter opinion was announced after much consideration, and is authority for saying that this court must decide for itself, as to any given question, whether or- not it should exercise the jurisdiction of answering the same; and that only questions of law publiei juris, and not questions affecting private or corporate rights, should be thus answered. That de cisión was based upon the fundamental doctrine that for this court to answer questions of the latter class, ex parte, would inevitably result in disposing of the rights or claims of litigants without due process of law, without counsel, and without allowing them their day in court.””
